On the slave side, it looks like the reconnectTimeout() function which sends the announce command completes.  It just doesn't seem to see the master's QUERY_FREESPACE request that comes next.

I'm not able to tell if it's a slave issue or a master issue, either.  I've been focusing my effort on the slave as it _looks_ like the master is doing the right thing.

I am also seeing this behavior, but have not had time to diagnose even as
